HOW FAITH WORKS

:

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

"Once more, Never think that you can live to God by your own power or strength; but always look to and rely on him for assistance, yea, for all strength and grace." - David Brainerd

John
15
:
5

For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

"Men compare themselves with men, and readily with the worst, and flatter themselves with that comparative betterness. This is not the way to see spots, to look into the muddy streams of profane men's lives; but look into the clear fountain of the Word, and there we may both discern and wash them; and consider the infinite holiness of God, and this will humble us to the dust." - Robert Leighton

II Corinthians
10
:
12

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

"Temptation may even be a blessing to a man when it reveals to him his weakness and drives him to the almighty Savior. Do not be surprised, then, dear child of God, if you are tempted at every step of your earthly journey, and almost beyond endurance; but you will not be tempted beyond what you are able to bear, and with every temptation there will be a way of escape." - F. B. Meyer

I Corinthians
10
:
13

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

The key to perfect peace is found in the following from John Newton: "What Thou wilt, when Thou wilt, how Thou wilt." Make that your desire and the result is the peace that passes understanding.

Isaiah
27
:
3

But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

"I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And that which I can do, by the grace of God, I will do." - D. L. Moody

I Corinthians
15
:
10

And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

"Spirit filled souls are ablaze for God. They love with a love that glows. They serve with a faith that kindles. They serve with a devotion that consumes. They hate sin with fierceness that burns. They rejoice with a joy that radiates. Love is perfected in the fire of God." - Samuel Chadwick

Ephesians
5
:
18

These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

"To be in Christ is the source of the Christian's life; to be like Christ is the sum of His excellence; to be with Christ is the fullness of His joy." Charles Hodge

John
15
:
11

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

"God is looking for broken men who have judged themselves in the light of the cross of Christ. When He wants anything done, He takes up men who have come to the end of themselves, whose confidence is not in themselves, but in God." - Harry Ironside

II Corinthians
12
:
10

Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

"This is a sane, wholesome, practical, working faith: That it is a man's business to do the will of God; second, that God himself takes on the care of that man; and third, that therefore that man ought never to be afraid of anything." - George MacDonald
